We work with North Devon Crematorium, and our team will guide you through exactly what to expect so the day holds no surprises. We take care of all the arrangements, from the order of service to the journey there, so your family can focus on being together and saying goodbye in the way that feels right. Our funeral directors will be with you throughout, ensuring everything runs smoothly and with care.
We have been serving the Bideford community since 1890, and over that time we have built a quiet, long-standing trust with families across the town and beyond. Our funeral home on Park Avenue has a chapel of rest where you are welcome to spend time with your loved one in private, and we will always make sure the space is prepared with care and dignity. Please note that parking in Park Avenue is restricted to one or two hours depending on which side of the street you use, and there are payable car parks opposite us if you need longer, though we are not currently fully wheelchair accessible and would encourage you to call ahead so we can do our best to assist.
We are here to arrange a funeral that truly reflects who your loved one was, whether that means a traditional religious service, a humanist ceremony, or something that blends different traditions together. Our team in Bideford will take the time to listen and understand what matters most to your family, and we will work with the right celebrant or officiant to make it happen. No two families are the same, and we would never treat them as though they were.
Yes, our team covers Appledore and the surrounding communities, including Northam, Westward Ho!, and of course Bideford itself. Whether you are in a quiet village or closer to the town centre, we will come to you and support your family every step of the way.
You do not need to have everything figured out right away; our team at Park Avenue is available around the clock, so you can call us at any time and we will gently talk you through what needs to happen. When you are ready, we can come and bring your father into our care, and in the days that follow we will help you with the paperwork and registration that needs to be completed in North Devon. There is no rush to make every decision at once, and we will move at whatever pace feels manageable for your family.
